[Kavita] I think the bookmarks is weird.

Idea Description

I think the bookmarks function is just a gallery now.
It just take pictures of the pages and put them in an album called Bookmarks.
This is not the bookmark of common sense I think.

Let's think of a real book.

The original purpose of the bookmark is to put it between pages and continue to read it later.
But the feature I are focusing on is that I want to mark favorite pages and see them again later.
It's like folding the corners of your favorite pages.
Then, later, I pick up the book from the bookcase and open the folded page, I can read it again where I like.

But now the bookmarks are gathered separately in the bookmarks library.
Now, when I pick up a book from a library (not a bookmark library) I can not quickly access the bookmarked point as if I were opening a folded page.
Now, I can not continue to read it unless I bookmark all my favorite pages.

This bookmark feature is very weird to my intuition, and useless to me.
At least, I want you to add feature that can jump to the previous, next bookmark in comic viewer.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are wanting the feature to be more where you can resume from the page you previously book marked in the chapter as normal?

I give you an example because I'm not good at English.

When I read the book 'A', Kavita shows the comic book through the image viewer
Image viewer has some function buttons and is assigned keyboard shortcuts (G, B, ESC, SPACE...)
I want two buttons added to it. Go to the previous bookmark, go to the next bookmark.

In Book 'A', I already made bookmarks on page 10, 50, and 70.
And now I'm looking at page 30.
If I click 'Go to the previous bookmark' button, it jump to page 10.
If I click 'Go to the next bookmark' button. it jump to page 50.
If i click 'Go to the next bookmark' once again, jump to page 70.

This feels like a duplicate of #2954

I've already read that.
He wants to jump from the bookmark library to the original.

I think a little differently.
I don't want to go to the bookmark library just to jump to the bookmark point when I reading a book 'A'.
I should be able to jump to the bookmark while i was reading 'A'.
That is the folding of the coners of the page i said.

I'm sorry. I'm here to make a suggestion and I don't know how to use GitHub.
I can't find the delete button or the moving button.

Oh okay. We used to have that actually but I removed it when I created the dedicated bookmark page.
